## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a soil-isolated bacteria that can break down cellulose.

## Contribution

The complete genome of a cellulose-degrading Bacillus stercoris strain is reported for the first time.

## Key findings

- The genome contains 4,299 predicted genes and 4,012 protein-coding genes.
- A beta-1,4-glucanase gene, important for cellulose degradation, is identified.

## Abstract

We report a complete genome of Bacillus stercoris BHUJPV-SS7 isolated from soil which contains 4,299 predicted genes and 4,012 predicted protein-coding genes within its chromosome (4,115,399 bp), and has 43.51% G + C content and a predicted beta-1,4-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) gene.
